acids and bases Flashcards
Arrhenius
Acid: increases [H3O+] hydronium
Base: increases [OH-] hydroxide
Bronsted Lowry
Acid: donates proton
Base: accepts proton
Lewis
in the formation of covalent bonds
Acid: accept electron pairs
Base: donates electron pairs
conjugate acids and bases
base: mawawalan ng isang h mag -1 charge
acid: madadagdagan h +1 charge
strong acid and weak acid value of Ka
strong: large Ka»_space; 1
weak: small Ka «_space;1
Water dissociates very slightly into ions in an equilibrium
autoionization or self-ionization
Water ionizes to produce both H3O+ and OH-, thus it
has
both acid and base properties.
Kw is called water
ionization constant.
1.0 x 10-14 at 25oC
present in all aqueous systems
hydronium and hydroxide
We can define the terms “acidic” and “basic” in terms of
the relative concentrations of H3O+ and OH– ions
In an acidic solution,
[H3O+] >[OH–]
In a neutral solution,
[H3O+] =[OH–]
In a basic solution,
[H3O+] < [OH–]
The pH of a solution indicates its relative acidity
In an acidic solution,
pH <7.00
In a neutral solution,
pH =7.00
In a basic solution,
pH > 7.00
formula for pH
pH = -log[H3O+]
If [H3O+] increases,
[OH–] decreases
pKw =
pH + pOH at any temp
= 14.00 at 25°C
the number of decimal places in
the pH equals
the number of significant
figures in the hydrogen-ion concentration.
